THE RUSTY KNOT

Although most of my nights in New York I attempted to milk a sugar daddy at fancy shmancy bars across Manhattan, one of the most enjoyable evenings I had was sipping on a Dark & Stormy at The Rusty Knot. The West Village haunt did everything right - especially restoring my faith in simple drinks that taste so damn good. All you need is some dark rum, ginger beer, a wedge of lime and ahoy you go.

MARINA ABRAMOVIC




While for years I had read about and studied Marina Abramovic's impressive performance art pieces, it wasn't until today when I saw them in the flesh at the MoMA that they really truly moved me. The fifty works spanning over four decades demonstrate the ways in which she has pioneered the dialogue between the artist's energy field and the audience, and are nothing short of amazing. Definitely worth flying to New York to see.

APARTMENT THERAPY


Having just found a lovely new place to nest, the main thing on my mind is how i will decorate. It is sure to be a challenge. My new apartment isn't exactly spacious. It has 'cute' going for it and it's Art Deco-ness gives me something to work with.

Though I'm not exactly the richest of humans and i don't see the point in spending your whole paycheck on rent when there are plenty more exiting things to blow your clams on. Besides, I need to complete my 'Missoni Home' collection someday and those fluffy zig-zagged beach towels are winking at me every time I walk by the store.

So I have been researching SMALL homes in the hope of some inspiration. My friend who has also recently moved into a little place (theirs is much more spacious and modern than ours) put me onto Apartment Therapy website. It runs a yearly competition called 'Small Cool' and showcases some of the most functional and stylish homes I have seen yet.
